 I feel as though I might be one of, if not the biggest geek on the boards. Here's my proof, in no particular order. I'm a drummer in a metal band. I could probably drum out a general idea of a drum rhythm after hearing the song once or twice. (general idea being main beat, no fills. although, I could probably come close.) I have both a Wii and an Xbox 360 and have beaten every game I own for both systems. I am a Huge-a-Dumb-Ass-a-Dumb-Ass fan of metal music. Anything from melodic metal, to extremely heavy death metal, you name it, and I'll probably like it. I am still a Huge-a-Dumb-Ass-a-Dumb-Ass fan of the Pokemon series of video games, and could probably list almost all 493 of them without help. Since the beginning of this year, I've kept a log of the high and low temperature for every single day, and have yet to miss a day. I'm extremely fascinated by space. I could stare at the stars for hours and wonder what's out there, and what it's like, etc. I'm also fascinated by all things science. Always have been. In total, I have 61 video games, for PC, Xbox 360, Wii, Gamecube, Nintendo DS, and Gameboy. I'm currently in the process of building myself a gaming computer. I know what the following abbreviations stand for, without having to look them up; NAT, GPU, CPU, RAM, HDD, BIOS, SATA, DDR SDRAM, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB, and YB. I think you get my drift. There's much more stuff, but I have to go help move a pool, so I'll probably update this later with more stuff. Let the attacking begin. haha  Well if you look anything like your avatar . . .  I only wish I was that attractive... haha. Surprisingly though, I'm not a "classic" looking nerd. I look more the part of a metal head (long hair and such) |

I think long hair is the new nerd thing. I had it up until last year, and know some nerds with a mop top

I had it up until last year, and know some nerds with a mop top Long hair has been a "nerd" thing since the mid 80's at least o.o For an opinnion of mine I really don't think long hair has been more or less popular with the geek and or nerd organization. We tend to have a non-discrimination clause when it comes to hair. It's in a beta file.... or in my Electronic Housely magazine. You get to be technicaly updated and learn about hot pants! |

We tend to have a non-discrimination clause when it comes to hair. It's in a beta file.... or in my Electronic Housely magazine. You get to be technicaly updated and learn about hot pants! Well, my hair is longer than long. It's 2 feet or longer. My friends say I look like a homeless hippy at times.  This isn't the greatest picture of me because I'm behind my drum set, but it gives you a general idea of how long my hair is.  I have no clue what the hell I was doing. I don't even remember this picture being taken. The only reason I'm posting it is because it's apparently the most recent picture of me. There's some pictures for those of you who were curious. Anyway time to continue my list; I waited for 4 hours for the midnight release of Halo 3, even though I had reserved the game several months before hand. I also reserved the Legendary Edition of Halo 3, which came with the Mjolnir Mark VI Helmet. I'm a Huge-a-Dumb-Ass-a-Dumb-Ass-a-Dumb-Ass Legend of Zelda fan, I've beaten every game, including the very first few. I used to play trumpet in high school band and know how to read music very well. I call people noobs, and pronounce pwn as "own." It also drives me nuts when people pronounce pwn as "pown." I own a shirt that says - i pwn n00bs -. I watch many different machinimas, including Red vs Blue, Arby 'n' the Chief, Pre-Game Lobby, etc. I also watch a web series called Pure Pwnage. I have a custom login screen on my computer that I made, and put there myself. I get excited when a new computer part, video game, or console gets announced, or released. I watch coverage of the E3 expo every year, like it's a major news event. I have a sword collection, a dragon statue collection, a custom made Deku mask from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, a lava lamp, and an electric globe. I do science experiments for the hell of it. I'm in the top 600 players, on xbox live, on rock band, for drums. I have old computer parts laying all over my room. I'm almost transparent. haha, I think that sums it up. There's more stuff, but I can't think of it right now. |

You like holding sticks in your hands too? Cool!
okay sorry..
I'm a multifunctioning geek too. I feel left out and should make things more geeky.
I listen to random and obscure genre's of music including Cow-Punk for example.
Play accustic guitar and actualy own Death Metal Sound tracks from games. One being one of the best FPS for the PC of 2007 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. And I don't care if it 60 bucks when the prequel to this massive adavance AI game comes out to for this title in August I'm buying it.
Freelance build computer as well as my own... I hate Vista and want to kill them becasue Halol2 is for Vista only... until I crack the software codes...
Own high-cardbon steel handmade swords. And to end massive Anime junkie who hates the sun but can actualy at least lift 200 lbs... just mentioning cause I'm not the little weak geeky nerdy kid ^^

I am a huge metal fan. And I am getting my PhD, because I like to do research. Who likes to do research?!? Geeks, that's who.

But you can still do it without it can't you? From my understand a few years ago you didn't need a PhD for a lot of things that people assumed you did, it just "helps". But I don't know for sure if it's true because I choose not to deal with things in my future life that would require me to have that.

But I don't know for sure if it's true because I choose not to deal with things in my future life that would require me to have that. At all public colleges, (i.e. State colleges and Universities) beyond community/technical, colleges you typically need to have a PhD to be a professor. It is very rare that a person becomes a professor without one. People that publish research are either getting an advanced graduate degree or have one. Otherwise, not typically taken seriously. |

I have a sword collection, What swords do you own ? Are they carbon/spring steel or stainless/ornamental? I want a Cold Steel hand and a half but everytime I get close to having the spare cash I find something else that's more important to put the $ $ $ into |

Yeah, I like it there, you don't have to do too much and it's really nice. Plus I'm still allergic to things that I don't want to do.. they make me cough and become even more allergic. You should join me, there's a parade too.

I feel I am the only one that can call themselves a geek and say that I think Halo is over rated, there are plenty of FPS games on the PC that are way better.

There, I said it. ;D haha, just kidding. I found it a few days ago, I don't remember where though.  My roflcopter pwns yours. I feel I am the only one that can call themselves a geek and say that I think Halo is over rated, there are plenty of FPS games on the PC that are way better. I don't agree that Halo is overrated, but I will agree that the PC does have some better FPS'. The thing that sucks is, my current computer is such a pile of steaming shit, that I can't play any of them... Maybe I missed it, what band is CPDrummer in? Chaos Prevails. Hence the CP  . We're a really unknown band from West Michigan. we're actually supposed to get some studio time within the next couple weeks, so maybe I'll have something to show off. ahaha. |
